Necro-Alchemist

i would say yes he can mainly because he is the most expensive army card besides the eldrazi ruiner secondly you are talking about that actively uses spells the times ive used him he quickly reaches his max of three counters so unless im using him every turn for only one attack i tend to waist a couple of potential charge counters lastly he may be rolling for nine but each dice only has a 50% chance of rolling attack. i find when he attacks he either does nothing (unlucky role) hits for one or two(defending player rolled well) or i completely obliterate them and wasted one of the charge counters. in summary i dont think the ability is too powerful mainly because of cost and because he only gets to attack once 

This is also my interpretation.

Similar to the discussion with whether or not you can flip Arlinn and use both of her abilities in one turn.

In magic, 'At the beginning of ~' is a trigger that only occurs once, so 'At the beginning of Necro-Alchemist's turn' can only occur once per turn.

gideonjura, I would agree that it isn't overly powerful, at least in theory. But I recently played against him using the "more than one counter per turn" interp, and... Ugh. Really beastly.

Using Yawgmoths search engine, it seems pretty powerful. Unless the and cards have lots of instances that are not seen yet since those sections aren't finished yet, then the term "at the start of the turn..." seems to be uniquely in this game.
Lantern Geists and Illusionary Projections were all I could find that share it.
I searched it to learn of the precdence in this game. I already am quite acquainted with the nuances of magic being a first level judge during the ravnica era. And while I want MtG logic to work here, there is enough leeway and contradiction by Hasbro regarding rulings that one cannot default to MtG logic and be confident that you're likely correct.

That said, I sent an email to Hasbro, but I am willing to bet that it will be once per turn. But I also would hardly be shocked if they said 3 either.

Response from Hasbro this morning:

So there you have it.

9 from Necro-Alchemist when he depletes his full amount of charge counters.

*shrug* I could've seen it go either way. Mostly because it didn't 'feel' like a single use per turn kind of thing despite the card stating "remove a counter". It felt open.

The card logic in Arena can be even more literal than the CCG is, and sometimes its nowhere near as literal.

Regardless, its just a single hero with 9 dice. He can devastate a single figure per turn. Just got to watch your Planeswalker's back when he's around.

What bothers me is that gets this kind of buff. is the color that pumps up the jam on its creatures. should be less obvious in this area.

This should have been a non-ranged hero creature IMO.

"A" means one. Being an avid heroscaper, munchkin, pokemon and now aotp, I have to disagree with the response from hasbro. If no house rule in this then roll the d20 and highest roll wins decision. I still feel that "A" means one in the context of that always beeing singular in the past.

Happy Halloween everyone!

it seems to me that "at the start of your turn" or "at the end of the turn" can be a trigger, but if the ability doesn't limit it's use, you can use it as many times you want. (contrary of super heated or snuff out)

another thing would be that "at the start of your turn" could be understood as a "phase" instead of a "trigger", but I don't think so.

Welcome to the Arena boards!

Any time you cast a spell, on any army card, you can add a charge counter to Nekro alchemist
